Amazon API Gateway now support Amazon Cognito OAuth2 Scopes

Amazon Cognito OAuth2 Scopes can now use to define the part of the method-level authorization when utilizing the Amazon Cognito Authorizer in the Amazon API Gateway. This will make building APIs simple that supports the Cognito Oauth2 scopes by eradicated the requirement to build an Amazon Web Service Lambda Function that runs the authorization. A Scope will define the level of access to be given to a resource that an application has the permission to. Applications can use to request access to the APIs by containing a token with one or more scopes integrated inside it. API Gateway will then check if the API caller is permitted to access the API.
